Probable Fruitless Gyration

[Griff]

You've done the right thing putting everyone on notice. Now make sure you follow up and get a meeting with his teachers, guidance counselor, and principal. Get them all around a table and take the attitude of a Dad looking to solve a problem. Only get confrontational if its obvious they are not playing ball.

Is the school broken up into learning communities? If so, it should be no trouble to get all the teachers on board, since they'd see your son throughout the day. How big is the school? Can the punks really disappear into the crowd? Remember your child is not for people to run their little social experiments on. If the school is a dangerous place that isn't working you need to get him out of there. Consider that the school is the phoney social construct, home-schooling is the more natural situation. Schools are great places when they work, when they don't they're just prisons.
